YEAR 13 SPANISH

When you are given handouts, please ensure that they are filed in the appropriate section of your folder. If you miss a lesson for any reason, it is your responsibility to get a copy of anything handed out.

It is essential that you bring your file to every lesson.

It is your responsibility take good care of the text books you are given. They must be returned to school at the end of the course in the same state that they were given to you, so you may wish to cover them. The text books are:

  • A2 AQA Spanish
  • A Level Spanish Vocabulary
  • Exacto Spanish Grammar Book
  • Ánimo Grammar Workbook

Your teacher will tell you which books you will need for each lesson. In general you will need the A2 AQA book for every topic lesson, and the grammar and vocabulary books can be used at home, to supplement your class work.

You will see the Language Assistant twice a week. These are compulsory lessons and if you know that you are going to be away you must inform her, just as you would inform your class teacher. The Language Assistant will tell you if she wants you to bring any equipment.

Make use of the LISA which has computers for 6th Form linguists, dictionaries, foreign magazines and satellite television, plus videos and cassettes.

Use your private study time to develop your independent study skills (not just to complete homework!). Use online resources such as Kerboodle for explicit exam practice, or for more general information read Spanish newspapers or blogs. Useful links can be found at - use the ‘tag’ facility at the side of the page to narrow down what you want to search for.
